Homegrown Music Festival

The Homegrown Music Festival is an annual community celebration of the original and diverse music of Duluth, Minn. and its surrounding communities. What started in 1999 with five acts has matured in its 20th year to an eight-day community-wide local music, arts and cultural extravaganza.

Travis Hendershot

Travis Hendershot performs with a hammered dulcimer, hurdy-gurdy and synthesizers with a delay pedal and other effects to create “delicate and experimental” ambience inspired by goth and pagan dark wave. In addition to the solo project, Hendershot plays with the band Remote Viewfinder and has recorded two albums with the group. The artist prefers smaller venues because they “intensify the music” and create a more “intimate listening experience between the artist and viewer.” Some of Hendershot’s favorite audience members are the cats at local animal shelters, where the musician occasionally brings sound equipment to practice.
